What in the world is up with the egg/pod/cocoon that Lady Gaga arrived in? Clearly, judging from the symbolic meanings of eggs and cocoons she’s interpreting herself in some sort of rebirth.

But, really what’s going on in that egg and does she plan to come out?

Rumors indicate that Gaga will not exit the pod until it is time for her to take the stage and give birth to her new song. It is interesting that this is her new gimmick as she’s been under fire for how similar her new song “Born This Way” is to Madonna’s “Express Yourself.”

Clearly, using this egg Gaga is expressing herself, but depending on how you look at it, the song was born in 1989 when Madonna first put it out. Maybe she could have come dressed at Marie Antoinette like Madonna did when she performed “Vogue” at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.

If you’re going to do Madonna, really do Madonna. You know what we mean?

We guess we’ll have to wait and see exactly what Lady Gaga has in store for that egg, “Born This Way” and all her little monsters until she finally takes the stage.
